PCD 100
Single Phase Coupling / decoupling Network for PSURGE 8000 Platform
IEC and EN standards cover testing of single phase
AC mains and DC power ports. They include
recommendations for coupling and decoupling
characteristics. These recommendations are based on
the European model for ac power lines.
The PCD 100 fulfills also the recently approved
IEC 61000-4-5 Edition 2.
The ANSI standards contain much the same
information as the IEC but based around the American
experience with AC power lines.
Impedance of the low voltage mains supply to earth is
simulated by the addition of a 10 ohm resistor for IEC
tests. ANSI has NO series resistor in the impulse path
This difference comes from the practice in Europe of
connecting ground to neutral at the distribution
transformer, not the power service entry as in the
USA. The PCD 100 fulfills all requirements.
The integration in the WinFEAT&R control and
reporting software package enhances an efficient
set-up and operation of this test system. Most
importantly, the test load can be transferred to a
computer freeing valuable resources.
Features
Two high voltage inputs
Combination wave 1.2/50us - 8/20us
Ring wave 100kHz
7.5kV impulse voltage
Line voltage 240V
16A EUT current
Overcurrent protection
Benefits
Safe and easy - The interlocked HC connections
allow your operators to test safely and easily.
Sturdy and reliable - Careful component selection
ensures that the PCD 100 will continue to operate
under the most strenuous testing regime.
Faster completion of testing program - The
PCD 100 has two multiplexed inputs, enabling testing
to continue with other pulses without having to
remove power from EUT.
